A Course Reference Number, often abbreviated CRN, is a unique identifier assigned to a specific class section at an educational institution. This is in contrast to a course number, which follows other conventions and is used to refer to the course itself, instead of a specific section of the course. CRNs are used during the registration process to identify the section of a course the student wishes to register for.

Famous quotes containing the words reference and/or number:
“A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign. The sign stands for something, its object. It stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which I have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
“A child’s self-image is more like a scrapbook than a single snapshot. As the child matures, the number and variety of images in that scrapbook may be far more important than any individual picture pasted inside it.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
